Meta Tags are what all search engines look at in one form or another to list your web site in a search engine directory. Located in the head of your web page code, your visitors don’t see them but without them your web site won’t get very many visitors.In order for each of your web pages on your web site to be properly categorized by search engine spiders they must contain three very important meta tags.
- Title Tag : This is the single most important tag. It is what search engines will use as the link to your web site within their directory. The title tag needs to contain as many keywords that apply to your page as possible, be no longer than 60 characters long (includes spaces) and be readable so that it will get people to click on it. Without a good title tag your web page stands little chance of coming up high in keyword searches done on search giants like Google.
- Description Tag : This is what you hope the search engine will use for the brief description that is placed after your linked title in the search directory. It should also contain as many keywords that are important to the web page, be no longer than 150 characters (includes spaces) and be a legible sentence. It should reinforce the title making readers want to click on your listing but do not duplicate your title word for word in your description. Some search directories use your web page content in place of this description so be sure your first few sentences of content reflect the purpose of the page and the page title.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is something that webmasters try to implement on their websites, particularly if it’s an online business or if they want a lot of traffic to their sites. Basically, SEO is developing your website in such a way that the search engines will display your site whenever someone does an internet search for specific keywords that you have craftily sprinkled throughout your pages. With the millions of websites out there, it can be very difficult keeping up with the competition so that your site is displayed in the top few search results, or even the first two pages of search results. This article will describe a few things you can do when optimizing your site for the search engines.
Firstly, there are different search engines that people use to find information on the net. The top three that you should be trying to optimize your site for are MSN, Yahoo, and Google. We all want to be at the top of the Google search listings, but it’s a good idea to start with MSN and Yahoo, simply because it’s usually quicker to get indexed and you still get a significant amount of your website traffic from these search engines. You will get more traffic from Google, but it’s a little trickier and probably more competition there.
The next thing you want to do is come up with keywords for your website that you think a lot of people will do internet searches for. This is harder than it sounds and you have to be really careful to choose the right keywords and keyword phrases so that you can beat out the competition. The way to find the best keywords to use on your site is to use a keyword research tool that displays the number of times per month your chosen keyword is searched in the three major search engines. You may initially think that the more a term is searched, the more traffic you will get, but think again! The more a term is searched, the harder it will be to get your site ranked in the top few search results, or the first few pages of search results. You want to choose terms that are less popular, but still have a significant number of searches. A good number to aim for is any term that is searched about 5000-10000 times per month. It’s pretty difficult to do this without using a keyword research tool, such as Good Keywords.

One thing that webmasters and site owners always forget once they have opened a brand new site or introduced a brand new product is to write a PRESS RELEASE. This is a big mistake! I believe crafting a press release is very essential in developing website traffic. It is a way to create multiple back links to your site and also give good press about your company. Most of the time, clients / customers will google your company name to see if you have any other information on the web besides your own website. Wouldn’t it be great if they read all wonderful press releases about your company.
I know that most of the free online Press Release sites offer less in the way of human traffic however they can go a long way to creating quality backlinks to your site.
Below is a link of 100 of the best free online PR sites:

Social Book marking could be the next big thing in web site marketing since the development of the personal blogs.
Social Book marking web sites like http://Del.icio.us, Digg, Stumble Upon and Furl allow their users to create a set of web site content bookmarks. Submitted book marks are organized by content tags, which are arbitrary phrases or words a user can assign to the content they wish to bookmark. This gives the user a way to classify, rank and organize web site content using tags.
The most popular Social Book marking web site is Digg. Digg is a relatively new social book marking web site and has in it’s short time attracted millions of members who daily add bookmarks to all sorts of web site content. Over search engines and other bots, social book marking web sites have an intrinsic advantage. Users will choose what content they will bookmark, unlike relying on a program to categorize and qualify content. There is an implied quality in something that someone has taken the time to select.
Users of a social book marking web site will read other posters bookmarks and then add them to their own bookmarks if they liked them.. You can even view RSS feeds to see what others are tagging, which is a very cool feature and is a textbook example of a very powerful viral marketing technique.

It has become an article of faith that the Web is all about content; content is King on the Web as opposed to television where commercials are king. It seems that television networks just can’t wrap their heads around the Internet and fit it into their standard commercial box. The traditional media’s tactic of last resort, buying-up the competition and imposing its commercial will, just won’t work with the Internet.
Businesses that want to succeed on the Web must learn how to turn their commercial message into content as a seamless entertaining presentation.
After years of website visitors first ignoring, then getting increasingly irritated with banner ads that blink, burp, and blast across their screens, there finally is a better way; advertising in the form of Web-videos that not only deliver a marketing message but are worth the time invested in watching.
